New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons: Everything you need to know regarding tonight's game

Monday, 26 February 2024 at 22:00

Four games scheduled for this Monday night in the NBA. The one we're going to detail is the match between the Detroit Pistons visiting the Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks. Cade Cunnigham and Jalen Brunson clashing head-to-head in a very different season for both of them.

The Pistons visit Madison Square Garden eager to redeem themselves from their last tough loss against Orlando Magic, where, in addition to a refereeing controversy that caused Cunningham to have a huge outburst, the Florida franchise won in the last second with a spectacular Game Winner by Paolo Banchero.

That is why, despite the fact that Detroit is the team with the worst record in the NBA (8-48), and therefore the bottom team in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks cannot be confident, and even less so with the losses accumulated by New York, sitting 4th in the East standings with a 34-23 record after its most recent loss to the Boston Celtics.
